Tau Spotted!

With the allure of the new codex I have decided to go ahead with a slow burn Tau army. Need to keep myself disciplined on this though. I will only be getting new models once the ones I have are finished, and will only be getting them to the table once painted. It’s my hope that this will ensure the whole lot gets done in the end. So without further ado here’s some pics:

Battlesuit

Battlesuit

Just a basic battlesuit here, I was tempted to go forgeworld but the pricetag really throws me off and I think the GW kit looks great with a few minor alterations.

Pathfinders

Pathfinders

The new Pathfinder kit has to be one of the best kits I’ve seen for a while. £16 from my local retailer and you get 10 excellent looking pathfinders, a recon drone and two other drones of your choice. Bargain! Admittedly the there isn’t much posability(its a word :D) to them without a lot of work, but I don’t think its even necessary unless you where going to have loads of the blighters.

Death Korp of the Kreig update

Another update on the Death Korp of the Kreig commission, below are some WIP pics of bothe the Death Korp at ease squad and “Mons Meg” the Armageddon Pattern Basalisk.

The at ease squad will be getting a bit more work on them this evening, primarily adding the red to the armour plates, so you may see another update from later on. With the Basalisk I have hit a bit of an inspiration wall. To bring it into cohesion with the rest of the force I will be looking to add some red but am unsure of the placement. I’m certain the barrel itself will be red (historians now believe that Mons Meg was painted red in her day, so fits quite well), but unsure if it needs to go anywhere else. Time to have a chat to the client methinks.
